As I said earlier, I don't think I can define life, Greg - but I knows it when I sees it. Cells multiplying, even cancerous cells, are a pretty good indication of life, but not an adequate definition of life.

If one has cancerous cells, one would be advised to have them removed. A fetus is also life, and contains multiplying cells. I would suggest that the decision to remove a fetus, is different from the decision to remove cancerous cells. Both decisions should not be taken lightly, but there are different implications in these different decisions.
